Chapter 24

Bella

From Hope: You're a Liar.

The sound of the pencil snapping into two pieces, caused Arabella to snap out of her gaze. Just as she was finally coming back to reality, her phone started to ring, an unknown phone number was calling her which she chose to ignore but then it rang again.

"Hello?" Celeste shook her head, hating that tone but it still made a smile on her face hearing Bella's voice. "Hello, Arabella Marino,"

Bella froze at the voice, the voice she hadn't heard in a long time. "Celeste Jane was wondering when you'll call me. Still trying to take what's not yours I see,"

This made Celeste angry, which was exactly what Bella wanted. "They are mine!" She shouted, angry that Bella would dare call them her sisters.

After all, she did raise them.

Celeste sat in the corner of her dark motel room, her attention on the tv that was one in front of her which was showing a rerun of the show The full house.

"Still trying to Claim Dean is Reno, he's dead babe," Bella nodded her head and rolled her eyes.

"Dean is his son," Celeste, folded her legs, and she smiled. She knew that Reno would never sleep with Bella, only because she saw the way he would look at Malia. But If only she knew that Bella was telling the truth and that the brothers lied, maybe she wouldn't be so happy about it.

The line was silent for a while before Celeste spoke up. "Just so you know I'm calling to say I forgive you for killing my husband years ago,"

Bella blinked rapidly, confused as anger boiled inside her. "He was never your husband, so get that in that little brain of yours,"

"Yes he wasn't my husband but he was a father," Bella bite her tongue, not able to say a word.

Celeste took the opportunity to stand up, fixing her black dress as she stood. She then started making her way to her bathroom, where she pushed the door open and the first thing she saw when the door open wide was the tied-up man sitting on a chair that was In the middle of her small bathroom.

"You're finally getting what you wanted Bella," Celeste said, as she stared at the man she once called family.

The man, who she calls family was tied up. Blood ran down the side of his temple, his nose, and his face.

Is this even family? She kept questioning herself that very same question every time but always ends up with no reply.

"And what was that?" Bella was confused as to what she was talking about.

Celeste frown at the question. "You suspected, something was up and now they do too." With the gun in her hand, Celeste watch as his eyes grew wide only for a second before he started to glare at her.

Bella couldn't help but smile, but She was also curious as to why Celeste was telling her that. "And why are you telling me this?"

"We're old friends Bella, are we not?" Celeste questioned.

Bella scoffed when she heard the word friend then asked. "Who's this problem that you took care of?" Celeste smiled, and points the gun at him, a small smile on his face as he closed his eyes ready to die.

He was going to see his wife again and that was all he cared about.

"Vladen," Bella heard followed by a beeping sound.

The call ended.

--

I'm confused.

They are both crazy. Maybe Bella and Celeste are twins.

Now that would've been a great plot.
